Abstract (en)
[origin: WO2016028384A1] A method of examining a water supply for microbial contamination involves contacting a water supply with a novel reagent having high specificity for a Legionella microbial species, wherein said reagent does not cross-react, or minimally cross-reacts, with a microbial species other than Legionella. The method further involves detecting, or measuring, a contaminating concentration of a Legionella species in the water supply. Useful reagents comprise at least one nucleotide sequence primer comprising a primer sequence selected from SEQ ID NO: 3-10 or a combination of such primer sequences. The increased specificity of such reagents permits more sensitive detection of microbial contamination.
